“The earliest known literary reference to Hekate is found in the cosmological Theogony of Hesiod dating to the eight century BCE. It is widely believed that Hekate’s origins are outside of the Greek pantheon, and for us to gain a greater understanding of Hekate we need to consider where she may have originally come from. To fully explore this subject would require a volume of its own. The overview that follows will help expand your appreciation and perception of this extraordinary goddess. All of these possibilities suggest she migrated or expanded her worship from cultures in proximity to Dark Age Greece.” – (Sorita d’Este, www.sorita.co.uk)

Great honour comes full easily to him whose prayers
the goddess receives favourably, and she bestows wealth upon him;
for the power surely is with her. For as many as were born of
Earth and Ocean amongst all these she has her due portion. The
son of Cronos did her no wrong nor took anything away of all that
was her portion among the former Titan gods: but she holds, as
the division was at the first from the beginning, privilege both
in earth, and in heaven, and in sea. Also, because she is an
only child, the goddess receives not less honour, but much more
still, for Zeus honours her. ~ The Theogony, by Hesiod (circa 500 BCE)
